Mystery Tough Nokia spotted

6th July 2009

NOTE: this has been confirmed as the Nokia 3720 Classic

We don't know what this phone is called, but Nokia have given a preview of something that can apparently survive being kicked around and whacked with a golf club, and given the wet conditions that these two clips were filmed in.. presumably something waterproof as well/

We haven't seen a ruggedised phone from Nokia since the 5500 was announced three years ago, and before that was the properly tough Nokia 5140i in 2005.

In terms of toughness, Nokia will have to try hard to beat things like the Samsung B2100, but judging by these videos they have managed to come up with something that's not only very robust, but also fairly smart looking at the same time.
